It works if in device tree one specifies the reg-io-width property and
sets it to 4. If the reg-io-width is not specified, the iotype defaults
to UPIO_MEM causing the SError interrupt on gs101 which makes the system
unusable.

Also, if the earlycon comes specified from the kernel params, the
of_setup_earlycon() is no longer called and the earlycon will be set
solely based on the kernel params buffer, thus allowing users to crash
the kernel on wrong earlycon definitions.

If you think the change is fine, I can amend the commit message with the
description from above.

Cheers,
